factor in American public life But the steady decline of the horse population of the United States continues They will not of course disappear There are too many uses for horses for that But in the not far distant future there will lie many parts of the United States in which the horse will be a mere curiosity a rich mans pet something to be rented as one does a dress suit for spccial occasions It was in 1918 that the horse population the United States according to the specialists in our national census department reached its height The country was growing and the motor car and the motor truck and the motorized farm machine had not yet got their full popularity In 1918 there were 21 million horses in this country Then the shrink began Six years later in 1924 there were only 17 million horses and there were the same numher of motor vehicles And now eight years since 1924 there are twice as many motor vehicles for there are only 12 million horses while there are 26 million motor cars It is the mule that is holding up against the advance of the machine age The mule is not "a natural" like a horse I le is the direct result of planning by mankind So that there are almost as many

the world "The Mikado" was a musical and entertainment sensation And today while there is about it the odor of a "revival" it does not anytheless lack the entertainment value that gave Gilbert and Sullivan their greatest reputation A half century ago it is reported that the Japanese in Europe were sensitive about "The Mikado" regarding it as a caricature that would be unfortunately taken as a picture by occidentals of their Japanese Vie I Today Japanese themselves can be as amused about the story of the "Koko" the Lord High Executioner as are modern American farmers amused rather than irritated by the humors of a "Josh Billings" The real point about "The Mikado" is that it superficially represents the views of mediaeval Europe about mediaeval Japan Mediaeval Japan was in reality strange enough to Europe And mediaeval Europe was in reality ignorant enough of the true Japan While in its theme Japanese or supposedly Japanese in its fundamental meaning "The Mikado" was not intended to be Japanese at all but extremely Londonish Gilbert expressed in "Poo Bah" and "Koko" and the "Mikado" not the sort of men he presumed to exist in the Far East but the sort of men he knew to be in circulation at that very time in London So if the humor to he expressed by the young folks of the Fresno high school on their rage tonight seems in any way strange do not blame it on either past or present Japan or on present America It is the humor of the English capital of 50 years ago But even while you are laughing remember that there are Poo Balls and Mikados and Kokos all around us

of this interno-like subterranean region where last summer he uncovered what may be lower than the lowest level of human occupation Yet found in North America During the past few years evidence has been aCCUITIUltaing that this part of the continent was occupied by a primitive people contemporaneous with extinct the earliest basket maker people They appear to have lived at about tho time when

of these people is today perhaps the greatest puzzle In North America archeology They annarently flourished for a time and then vanished to be followed a long time later by the primitive basket maker tribe whose remains up to the present have marked the North America archeologist's farthest horizon In Ito past They nuly havo been aneestors of the basket makers or have represented an entirely

to the Smithsonian by Edgur archeologist of the Pennsylvania Philadelphia who last fall excavated a Cave just acmes the New Mexico line found this characteristic spear point associated with bones of an extinet bison and musk-ox approximately four feet beneath a stratum of the earliest level of basket maker culture The spear point is eonsidered almost positive evitienee that human beings were in the country with the vanished animals The amount of earth that had accumulated above it indicates that many venturies at least had elaliscd before the cayern was again used for human habitation by the

scientific history or a great event has been written by a man who played a dominant part In it" Max Eastman who translated the book from the Russian says in a prefacing note about the author Trotsky himself says that in writing the history of a revolution an author should not only tell what happened and how but also make clear "why It happened thus and not otherwise" Following his own policy he Joins to his running account of the "February Revolution" analysis of the undercurrents motives and forces conditioning the action taken The book has the firm outline and facts of a history and the pungently vivid description of art orator's spoken account Scenes shift from the revolutionaries to the czar making a reluctant decision to abdicate to mass demonstrations In Moscow COMPARING REVOLUTIONS Trotsky compares the Russian revolution to revolutions in rther countries showing the contrasts In both aims and causes inherent In the countries "Each of the great revolutions marked off a new stage of the bourgeois society" he says "and new forms of consciousness for Its classes Just as France stepped over the reformation so Russia stepped over the formal democracy ''The rule of the toilers has for the first time been realized in the Soviet system which whatever Its immediate historic N'icissittulPs ham penetrated as irrevocably into the consciousness of the masses as did in Its
